The EV Project, managed by ECOtality, provides funding for residential and commercial charging stations and, in turn, you allow them to collect data from the vehicles, including where and how long you charge, your mileage and generally how the vehicles are being operated. This information helps the companies improve EVs and EV infrastructure over time, paving the way for a truly EV future.

The project is a massive effort to provide the United States with the infrastructure necessary to prepare for the charging needs of electric vehicles; it’s funded by Department of Energy grants and partner matches. It was launched in October of 2009.
